To ensure alignment with Mozilla Firefox, Read Aloud: A Text to Speech Voice Reader should regularly update its PDF viewer. Since Read Aloud's PDF viewer is derived from Mozilla Firefox, frequent updates are essential to keep pace with Firefox's advancements. Additionally, it's worth noting that Read Aloud: A Text to Speech Voice Reader's PDF viewer website (https://assets.lsdsoftware.com/read-aloud/pdf-viewer-2/web/readaloud.html) does not currently support other Dark Mode Enabler extensions. While some extensions may darken peripheral elements, the main PDF pages remain unaffected. Indeed, enhancing transparency and confidence in their assurances is crucial. Provide clear evidence and a comprehensive privacy policy to support your claims, such as the promise that PDF files open locally on users' computers, not on their servers. This transparency would instill trust and reassure users about the privacy and security of their data. An additional suggestion would be for Read Aloud to make their PDF viewer URL/ link public, essentially creating a standalone searchable website. This would allow users to leverage the full potential of their PDF viewer, which supports third-party extensions like Google Dictionary and Simple Translate. By doing so, users could significantly enhance their reading efficiency, accessing definitions and translations in their native language. This approach could potentially multiply the value and wisdom gained from reading books on the platform.
